Ketersediaan Tumbuhan Pakan Dan Daya Dukung Habitat Rusa Timorensis De Blainville, 1822 Di Kawasan Hutan Penelitian Dramaga

Feed Plant Availability and Carrying Capacity of Rusa timorensis deBlainville, 1822 at Dramaga Research Forest Area. The research was conducted to know potenstial feed plant availability and carrying capacity at Dramaga Research Forest Area. Data was collected by measuring feed plant productivity of 45 plots with size 1 m x 1 m, and consumption level of four rusa deer (Rusa timorensis de Blainville, 1822). The result showed that the highest feed plant productivity was 17,362.09 kg/ha/year, and the lowest was 502.22 kg/ha/year. Light intensity correlation (y. lux) with dry weight production in 20 days (x. kg/ha), is y = 4.64 x -15.46 (r = 0.95). Feed plant availability was 121,607.01 kg/year, while consupmtion level based on fresh weight was 6,4 kg/individual/day or 2,336 kg/individual/year. Carrying capacity on observation area (11.9 ha) was 52 individual/year or 3.13 individual/ha/year
